Starting your day with a walk brings a whole set of health benefits, whether you set the time aside specially or simply cover part of your way to work on foot. For the best result, begin with 15-20 minutes, five days a week.

If you go to bed two hours later than usual but get up at your usual time, you will not only become more impulsive and more prone to mistakes — you will also blunt the sharpness of pleasant feelings the next day.

A short but necessary addition. I have given several decades to medicine, health practices and body work: various kinds of massage and diagnostics, manual therapy and kinesiology, therapeutic exercise and Eastern practices, breathing gymnastics and body-oriented therapy.

Turn to nature! The relief you need right now can be found in natural, plant-based painkillers. They belong to the field known as alternative medicine, which also includes herbal medicine, qigong, yoga, acupuncture and other practices.
